    How Do You Calculate the Frequency of Radio Waves with a Wavelength of 100mm?

    the speed of sound in air is 330ms^-1 , speed of light is 3 x10^8 ms^-1... what's the frequency of radio waves of wavelength 100mm ?

    Why does a compass needle point downwards at the magnetic north pole?

    A compass needle held horizontally is only afftected by the horizontal component of the magnetic flux. What do you think will happen to a compass needle at the magnetic north pole?

    Undergrad Why Does a Steel Core Remain Magnetized After Current is Turned Off?

    When the current in solenoid is turned off a steel core stays magnetized. The tiny atomic magnets remain lined up, even when the external field is removed. Why is that so?

    Graduate How do GM tubes detect charged particles in a hadron collider?

    1) Why do the electrodes in a linear accelerator get progressively longer? 2) What is a synchrotron? what is it used for? 3) How does a Geiger-Muller (GM) tube work? 4) How are particles detected in a hadron collider?

    Undergrad Explaining F=BIl and F=Bqv for Many Charges

    Speed = distance/time and current = charge/time. Explain how F=BIl is actually the same equation as F= Bqv but considered for many charges in a group? can someone please explain with working out please? thanks

    Electromagnets and magnetic field.

    Many real motors use electromagnets to create the magnetic field that causes their rotor to spin. Give one advantage and one disadvantage of building a motor which uses electromagnets rather than permanent magnets.

    Graduate Having discovered up, down, strange, charm and bottom quarks

    Having discovered up, down, strange, charm and bottom quarks, why did scientists undertake similar experiments using higher and higher energies?
